Twins Calling up Top 100 Prospect Luke Keaschall

Seems premature, given the TJ surgery. Could be ok if he’s DH to see if his bat is an upgrade to current roster. Hope this doesn’t jeopardize his arm in anyway. If he’s primarily DH, what to do with Julien? He’s finally having good AB’s and getting some hits. It will be interesting to see what Keaschall will do. 

I was hoping he'd break camp with the team, but I'm happy they're willing to bring him up this early.

Exciting news. Keaschall will be a draft and development success story. Happy for him and the Twins!

Put me in the excited camp. But I'd be really, really excited if it means the Ghost is gone and Correa and Castro escaped a trip to the IL. Either way, can't wait to see Luke. Will be a much needed shot in the arm!

It's good news for the keashall kid, hope he runs with it and gives the fans plenty to root for  ...

Interesting to see what the corresponding moves are.  Gasper down but 40 man spot will be needed. 

Canterino DFA is my guess.

I'm curious to see how he'll be used and where in the order. Let me go out in a limb and say DH and batting seventh tomorrow.

Maybe bat him second , he does have speed and contact skills scouts praise ...

Rocco will do what Rocco will do  ...

Very excited and very interested to see how much 2B he played. It was only this week that he played a full game there. Buxton being able to play CF instead of clogging up the DH spot sure helps.

If he is ready to hit above league average I will take whatever defense he can give them at 2B.

Let's gooooooooo!

I know we're all generally down on the team right now, but it's also nice to sit back and think about how in the Terry Ryan era this move would have been to have Bride fill in because of his "veteran leadership." Screw that, let's see the kids play!

He's far and away the best hitter in the system after Jenkins and more ready than Jenkins, even if WJ weren't hurt.  Still this seems unfortunate that the Twins place him on the 40 this early.  Lots can happen over the season (injury, struggles) that would make this move hasty.  Instead of getting an extra year, potentially, this pretty much means that LK's seven year clock starts now instead of next year.

He's the one guy I'd lock up for the next nine years.  This year, the next six pre-FA years, and the two FA years.  He will hit.  EmRod probably won't hit, you don't know if he'll figure it out.  Keaschall?  If you bat him, he will hit.  Jenkins?  Agent won't let him be locked up.  Keaschall is the man, and it starts now.

It's too bad Eeles has been hurt.  Wonder how he's doing?

They just added him to the 40 man. Don't worry about locking him up for the next bunch of years at this point. He might be great, or he might not. It's a bit early to tell of he's a lock to be even above average. I hope you're right, and it is going to be exciting to  watch him develop with the big club!

Good luck to Luke Keaschall. He brings energy. While the young pup has been fighting it at AAA thus far from game to game, he does look for his pitch and makes himself a tough out. 

Find it hard to believe Correa needs to go on IL. Castro must be hurting worse than we thought or perhaps Larnach has a more significant injury than suspected as we have seen him hobbling. I guess we should hope the day off today and then the time in warmer Atlanta mean everyone is good to go. Someone needs to sent somewhere, nurse's office or AAA.

I am surprised. Adding another injured player to the roster doesn't seem like it would be helpful.
